@colinwalker What about a checkbox under the "Leave A Reply" subheading with the label "Send privately as email?"
@cdevroe That's an idea, a little more complicated to implement but definitely an option. Thanks for the idea.
@colinwalker Thank you for reminding me that I need to include such an option. I did -- haven't given it too much though; just included a link below every post. But works because I don't have a commenting system.
@colinwalker After seeing it on a few blogs I follow, I added it to mine and the Tufte theme. I’ve received many replies through it and carried on some great conversations. Highly recommend.
@pimoore I added it to mine after seeing it in yours, and made sure to have the same option on the new project 😊
@colinwalker Here’s the code I have in my blog for this:
{{ if .Title }}
<a class="reply" href="mailto:{{ .Site.Params.mailto }}?subject=Reply to {{ .Title }}">Reply by email</a>
{{ else }}
<a class="reply" href="mailto:{{ .Site.Params.mailto }}?subject=Reply to {{ .Permalink | safeURL }}">Reply by email</a>
{{ end }}
The mailto parameter contains my email address, and then the subject pre-populates with “Reply to [title]” if there is one, otherwise it just inserts the permalink. In your case it would just be a matter of pulling the title or permalink variable wherever they get stored in your system.
